Another one of those up and comers that was on the short list when we first opened. Almost shocking to me that he wasn't already riding for another shop, but hey - you snooze you loose right?

Desmond is an East Van loc that's been around for a few years now.  The fact that he grew up skating China Creek may come as a surprise to many when you consider his technical style.  I can't say I ever saw him carving a bowl or do an epic fly-out in all my time there. Instead he'd sesh the little flat rail, do manny's on whatever junk was around to build with or just skate flat land flipping his beat-out board with beat-out shoes.

Well that was then and this is now. Since the Plaza got built I don't think he ever looked back at China Creek. He's one of the best guys there day in and day out and its finally being noticed by the likes of Adidas, Push wheels and United Clothing.

His trick progression is crazy these days and I'm stoked to support him on his path to skate greatness. Keep it up Des!
